FiveO3 Pupusas (Cathedral City Village Shopping Center)

here's a cuisine you don't come across often, Salvadoran. They don't have a large menu but it's meant more as an order at the front and take your food rather than sit down fine dining. What they do have is good and priced well. The Salvadoran Horchata was excellent. It's like Mexican Horchata but different. Where as Mexican Horchata is more watery, Salvadoran horchata is earthier, grittier texture so it's more filling and you won't down the drink as fast as you would a rice based one. I didn't get to try the strawberry one but I'll do that next time. You can order as many pupusas as you want in any combination. I tried three and my favorite was the spicy one but be warned, it is HOT so make sure to get the optional sour cream with it. The fried plantain empanadas were tasty also. It has a beautiful modern remodel, a beautiful tastefully done bathroom and very friendly staff and you can watch them make the pupusas fresh by hand. The music added to the atmosphere. well done. my only wish is they have guacamole as I think that would complement the pupusas well.

So good! They were recommended to us bc the whole menu is gluten free! We each had a different favorite flavor, so try them all.

Excited to try the pupusas , but was very disappointed I Ordered Mix Ones and it tasted only cheese very Salty and the Cabbage mix was old. Above that The Pupusas here are too expensive. I also bought 2 horchatas to try and they were not good at all , no flavor just horrible 😖 Sorry but I don’t recommend this place .

These really are the best pupusas in the Coachella Valley. I just ate at four different pupusa places there in four days. Five03 has the best pupusas— and the weirdest name. The curtido is fabulous: finely shredded, spicy, sweet and tangy. No Tapatio sauce, but no need, because their home-made spicy sauce is wonderful. Coffee is good. (I would like metal silverware instead of plastic, but I carry my own titanium spork, so that’s ok.) What a wonderful place. I even liked the music. I was alone there on Monday morning, and I wish it was full.

A trip to El Salvador 🇸🇻 😍 I am absolutely in love with this new Salvadorian restaurant. The strawberry horchata is to die for. Great prices, great atmosphere, clean establishment, friendly staff. I highly recommend this restaurant 💯

In town from Pittsburgh, PA and received a recommendation from a local to come here. It was so good! Pupusas are one of my favorite foods, so I was exited to try this. My husband got the picante, steak, and chicken and I got chicken and beans. We also got the strawberry agua fresca and a champagne cola. Everything was so delicious and made with care. This place is also affordable and easy, casual dining! Thank you so much. If I’m ever back in Cathedral City I’ll stop by again. :)

First time visiting and trying out papusas. It was quite good and tasty. Will love to come back!

This place was recommended by my coworker and I was not disappointed! I got reveuelto pious as to go. I love that the food is made to order and fresh off the grill. I’m usually not a big fan of the Curtido but theirs was delish! I will def be back!

I was way too excited to dig into the revueltas pupusas. I only remembered to snap a pic after I'd already started devouring them! Also, had some fried plantains with beans on the side. All pretty reasonable prices. I've been on the hunt for a good pupusa spot in the desert, and I think I finally found it.

The pupusas were solid and at a very reasonable price. The cheese content was plentiful. We will return.

just discovered this gem of a place and oh my goodness its DELISH!!! never had papusa's that 'enjoyed' now i cant get enough of them - we love the empanada's and the plantain.. lovely tastes, great portions, place is white glove spotless.. highly recommend

Delicious and reasonably priced Pupusas and a few other Salvadoran specialties! The restaurant is clean and newly decorated. I hope they can eventually sell beer and wine. I was visiting from Northern CA and love pupusas, I will return next trip.

The customer service was awful,I did greet,so the lady in the register but can sensed some tension why I don't I do ask for a table but apparently you must order I paid for which it's fine,I did place my order of 2 pupusas 1 only cheese and the other mixed and a horchata a authentic Salvadoran restaurant doesn't sell from a vending machine obviously wasn't artisan horchata for the price,I'm very disappointed with their product and the customer,it's very clean I give that,even if hat there's not salt or pepper or even tissue paper you must request it overall ain't go back!

I love a good pupusa. You can't go wrong with this place.. As the menu says they serve pupusa's. They do offer sides of fried plantains, neugados, and empanadas, but by specializing in one thing they should be spot on and they are. I've tried the steak, cheese , jalapeño, zucchini and laroca pupusas, all were delicious. The perfect amount of cheese and grilled just right on the outside. Their Curtido is great, I don't like mine soggy, theirs has just the perfect amount of dressing. It is a bit spicy, so be prepared. If you're looking for a great place and are craving pupusas , this should be your go to.

Came to the area for a conference and was looking for good comfort food, this place was so good! The pupusas were a good size, the filling was flavorful and the curtido was on point! The people were attentive, 10/10 I would recommend.

These pupusas are the best! my family and I came here the other day for lunch and the customer service was on point and the food was fresh and hot and definitely could tell they took their time with it. Will recommend to friends to come here next time they are in coachella valley

had a fantastic dining experience at pupusas five03 last night! The pupusas were cooked to perfection, with fresh, vibrant flavors that really popped. Tatiana and her assistants were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, making excellent recommendations. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxed evening out. We'll definitely be back soon!" Ps / I love the horchata con fresa ( strawberry horchata ) loveee it really guys is AMAZING

Tried Five03 for the first time today. Delicious pupusas! Fresh, tasty, and if you like spicy you can opt for a lot of heat. Felt like I was eating someone's secret family homemade goodness. I will definitely be back, soon.

First time trying this place out and it was great! The place is cute and the staff is polite. I got their strawberry horchata (which I highly recommend) and beans pupusas. Bf got the mixed pupusas which he also enjoyed. Will definitely be coming back

Good pupusas. We enjoyed them. They were fresh and hot. We got the empanadas too, a little over fried but still ok.

This place is seriously unmatched! Very authentic pupusas! I have had fresh homemade pupusas from El Salvador and this taste just like it. I love the simple menu. Please go here you will not be disappointed!

Sooooo good!! I had been meaning to go here for a while and it kept slipping my mind. Not anymore! They were delicious!!! I was immediately struck by how clean the restaurant is!! I ordered 12. 6 steak, 2 chicken, 2 mixed and 2 spicy. I did have to wait about 20 minutes which I was fine with as I interpreted that as they were being made fresh!! and they were!!! Still hot when I got them home!! So flavorful!! The staff was so kind and grateful and helpful as well!! Great service!!! And I loved the slaw type side that they give you with them! So refreshing!! I will be back!!

The food is delicious, the place is clean and the staff are so welcoming. Can't wait to go back again.

We stopped by this place not looking or knowing what to expect, and I have to tell you- from the kind lady who helped us at the counter to the beautiful ambience of the restaurant and the delicious food, I was hooked. We are not really familiar with Salvadorian food, but they explained every type of pupusa they have so we got one of each of everything! We also got the fried plantains and the empanadas. We took our food to go and when got home we had the most delicious pupupas we ever had!!! We'll be back real soon!!!

This place is hands down the number one Pupusa spot in the Coachella valley the Pupusas are made freshly as ordered my favorite are the mixed ones and the Loroco you have to try their fried Banana and the horchata is amazing the place is very modern and super clean you will love it.

We ordered from this vendor at the Pride Festival on Sunday and I have to say I ordered 2 chicken pupusas and 2 drinks and the bill came to over $37.00.....This is an outrage and a total rip off they more than doubled the prices over the listed prices here and they had no posted prices of any of the food or drinks....I hope they aren't allowed back to next years Pride Celebration because they are a total rip off.

Best authentic food ive ever had in the valley! Strawberry horchata is . Don't sleep on this. They keep winning awards for a reason! 1x a week spot ya dig!

Clean venue. Friendly staff and greeted immediately. Ample place to sit. A little hidden away but makes for some quiet place to eat. Hard to find pupusas lately and this place delivered. Had a revuelta and chicken pupusa and they were bomb!

This is one of my favorite restaurants to eat pupusas. They are not extremely greasy and good size for the price. The cabbage topping is delicious and so is the salsa. Hands down the best bean and cheese pupusas ever.

This place has the best-tasting pupusas in town! Everything is fresh and made on the spot. I love how these pupusas fill you up, but aren't "heavy" or greasy in any way. Staff is very friendly, and the place itself has a very open and inviting feel to it (not to mention it's spotless too). Totally recommend giving this place a try, you won't be disappointed.

Great, local, family- owned restaurant with authentic flavors. Award winning, well known and respected throughout the Coachella valley! Clean and modern interior. Service was above and beyond!

Very helpful about suggestions to try for a variety of dishes. Great options for vegetarian pallet. It all looked and sounded so good we ended up taking some home.

These were probably the best pupusas I've ever had. I first had them in 2021 during the PS street fair. I'm so happy they have their own restaurant now. Will definitely be coming back.

OMG ! Best Pupusas! Being from LA I can say I have tried a variety of different pupusa spots. This spot out here in Cat City left me in awe and wanting more. Pupusas were made fresh and hit the spot. Best pupusas I've ever had to date! Friendly and very clean establishment.

Love this place. The pupusas, fried bananas are the bomb. Highly recommend. Staff is very friendly. You must try the loroco pupusas. Yum!

The customer services is not the best they need to be more professional when attending the customer the food isn't the best either they need to be a little bit more careful when preparing

THE RESTAURANT IS BRAND NEW. VERY NICE DECOR AND THE STAFF WERE FRIENDLY. I HAD never had Salvadorian food before and was thrilled with the flavors. I started trying one (bean/cheese) item and ended up ordering 3 different items on the menu. ALL WERE HOT AND FRESH AND TASTY. The prices are great with the most expensive item being $4.25. All other food items I ordered were $4.00 each. This was much healthier than my usual pizza or burger. Will definitely return to try the remaining items on the menu. Plenty of parking. Credit cards accepted.

Fresh and very solid pupusas. I was not a fan of larocha but the spicy one was very good. The cabbage that came with it was also not too flavorful.

Alll I got to say is the food is delicious. Amazing pupusas! I've had them a couple of times and I haven't got over them. Aside from the food. I love the location. They have a chilled area where you can eat and it's just pleasant to be around. Overall I've had a good experience. I highly highly recommend trying there pupusas. If you suddenly crave pupusas out the blue like me you won't be disappointed at all if you get them from here.

not impressed. popusas are thin and small. the drinks could be larger for the price. rather take a drive and go to salvadorian cafe on sunrise.
